2021 Map of Layton Spring

About this map

Layton Spring serves as a vital water source in this high-desert region of Northern Nevada, where water management defines the local landscape. The map details a network of drainage systems and seasonal waterways, including the S Fork Little Humboldt River, Spring Cr, and Twentyone Cr, which carve through the high elevations. Ranching history is evident in the naming of large open areas like Layton Field and Button Field. This 2021 survey shows how access to these remote areas is maintained through a series of specialized roads such as Little Humboldt Ranch Rd and Shelton Rd. The transition between basins is marked by the Humboldt Co Elko Co boundary, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the map.
